id like to bring to your attention the showstopper affecting many within the hour of launch.

Symptoms: cannot progress in first mission, stuck in "destroy damaged probes" area when mission log shows you have already warped to the "destroy active probes area". Restarting instance and "defeat me" dont work.

Replication: This happened to me and many others by the server going down whilst either in warp or at the "destroy active probes" area. upon reconnecting find yourself back at the "fix my guns ship" prior to warping to the "destroy damaged probes" area.

Bug: Stuck in loading screen while loading Sol System from the colony. Upwards of 15 minutes of waiting did not resolve issue. Cannot submit bug report in game as I cannot load character in-game and don't see button on Character Selection screen.

Level of Gratitude When Bug is Fixed: God Like

Ditto...long wait on Sol load, never resolves. Going to re roll to see if I can progress or work around it.

EDIT: Bahh...rolled a second slot now starter map is full...DOH...ah well...

Same problem with Sol & I need help. I was doing fine loading/playing in missions & map until I tried to leave the Sol System. All other zones are fine, but I have both of my characters stuck in Sol & cannot play at all. I have the latest NVIDIA graphics driver loaded & other than Sol, the gameplay has been virtually lag-free. If I can get out of Sol, I'll stay away from it as long as possible until this server balancing issue gets resolved. Wasting lots of time staring at load screen... :/

Comments:
This may only impact Science vessels. Before bug reporting I found a couple people in T5 science vessels with the same issue. One of them tracked the problem down to their Combat Impulse Engine Mk X, also purchased at Starbase 1 with badges.

Also note I did not update my space skills whatsoever and also confirmed this behavior on test server.

I have tried to play this level twice now, and the same problem has shown up. I get to the part where Admiral Zelle confronts you and tells you that she was an undine, but after getting the mission objective: Defeat admiral Zelle, the Undine, I can not find her anywhere on the map.

This is very much a show stopper, and a fairly big bug.
